Meghan Markle always had dreams of living the Hollywood lifestyle and Prince Harry was ‘star-struck’, an insider claiming to be a lifelong friend has said.

A source told The Sun: ‘I think she always wanted to be back here, she always dreamed of the full-blown Hollywood lifestyle and this kind of clout. And I don’t think it was even that hard to persuade Harry.

‘He was smitten and star struck over the whole thing. I don’t think she had to twist his arm to move to Hollywood.’

‘Now she is back home, near her mom, her friends and her PR team. She doesn’t have to ask for permission from the royal family in how she chooses to live her life and she can acquire income in all sorts of fields.

The source claimed that she has had the ‘ideal result’ as she ‘gets to return with a Prince’ and choose who she ‘works and socialises with’.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reportedly left Canada for good to set up a permanent home in Los Angeles – and it’s likely affluent Malibu is top of their list.

Last week a royal insider claimed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to leave Vancouver Island – where they have been staying since announcing they were stepping down as senior royals in January – amid fears the US-Canada border could close due to coronavirus.

The Sussexes want to be close to Meghan’s friends and mother Doria, the source told The Sun.

They are now believed to be in lockdown in the Hollywood area with 11-month-old baby Archie.

This follows reports Harry is feeling torn over the relocation, and is keen to ‘fly the nest’ and make a more private life with his own family, but is also ‘racked with guilt’.

Prince Harry is said to be struggling with feelings of helplessness after discovering Prince Charles tested positive for coronavirus, a source claims.

The Duke of Sussex, 35, who officially stepped down as a senior royal this week as he strives to give 11-month-old son Archie, and his wife Meghan Markle, 38, a more private life in LA out of the spotlight, is said to have had an emotional phonecall with his father, 71.

According to an insider the father-of-one feels ‘helpless’, and is trying to keep regular contact with Charles and the Queen, but the time difference is making it difficult.

A source told Us Weekly: ‘Despite their ups and downs, hearing that his dad is sick with a potentially life-threatening illness is a huge wake-up call. And he’s overwhelmed with feelings of guilt for not being closer to home while this is all going on.’

Charles reportedly tried to calm Harry down bY explaining that he is only suffering from ‘mild symptoms’, but the diagnosis is said to have been a ‘huge wake-up call’.

According to the source the royals are trying to ‘rally together’ amid the pandemic, but are struggling due to the physical distancing rule.
